An Extended Fuzzy CPT-TODIM Model Based on Possibility Theory and its Application to Air Target Dynamic Threat Assessment

Dynamic target threat assessment can be regarded as a classical multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) issue. Triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs) can fully describe imprecise and fuzzy information for target threat assessment. Thus, to consider the changing trend of target detection information in a certain period and the influence of commanders’ psychological factors on target threat assessment results, this study proposes an extended CPT-TODIM method based on possibility theory (PT-CPT-TODIM) to solve target threat assessment. Of note, the CRITIC method is used to determine the attribute weights of the probability mean matrix and the probability standard deviation matrix, which can make the target threat assessment result more rational. A numerical example and comparison analysis demonstrate the efficiency and feasibility of the newly proposed CPT-TODIM method.
